Disproportionate burden assessment for the Housing Land Position Statement

Scope

Paragraph 74 of the National Planning Policy Framework currently requires local authorities to identify and update annually evidence that they have a sufficient supply of land to meet housing need over a five-year period.

Benefits of creating an accessible version

The benefits of creating a HTML version of this PDF would be:

• a fully accessible version for all users to access
• an easily searchable and indexable version.

Burden placed on the organisation

It would take a disproportionate amount of a content designer's time to create a html version of this PDF.

Contributing factors

• Interest in the document is likely to be low as those with an interest are likely to be localised in nature and limited in number.
• Due to the nature of this content there is a need to publish the document annually.

Assessment

Having considered the estimated effort involved in creating an accessible version, along with the low estimated demand, we have concluded that the work involved would be a poor use of staff time. This represents a disproportionate burden on the organisation.
